Confusion between father & son? I’m not suprised. I’m 57 and often need a translator when talking with my 29 year old son. Sometimes we’re on different pages and sometimes I just don’t get it. (Not like the relationship I had with my father -ha, ha!)

It took me a few minutes to realize he meant the kid..Also, Arlo is not often portrayed as a clueless dim bulb like dad, he and like most of us don’t always understand what was just said..Last week Arlo noticed Janis feeling down and offered a second honeymoon. Not a dim bulb there.

My daughter in law had a little girl before she and my son got married. My dil’s birthday was 3 days after they got married, I offered to take my new grand daughter for a couple of hours so that they could have some alone time on her birthday..my dil’s mother showed up shortly after I left and insisted she needed to be with her daughter for her birthday..would not allow them to have their much needed alone time..my son was deployed the following week for 5 month to the war

About Arlo and Janis

From the salmon-colored sofa that is the center of the Arlo & Janis universe, this unique and quixotic comic strip has been just about everywhere. From unvarnished human drama to flights of unfettered comic fantasy, from unabashed pathos to unsurpassed observational wit, Arlo & Janis is perhaps the most unpigenholeable comic strip ever. It also invents new words!

The characters Arlo and Janis have played the parts of mermaids, squirrels, alligators and grasshoppers over the years, all while exploring the unexaggerated human condition and managing to become, with their son Gene, perhaps the most believable family in the funny pages. This unique approach has garnered Arlo & Janis an intelligent and engaged readership and guaranteed that a percentage of it will be confused at any given moment. However, readers eagerly return every day for another quaff from what has been the holy grail for a generation of comic-strip authors: quintessential Boomer humor.
